Digital Declutter Checklist - Your digital life has accumulated junk for years You know you should sort it but never have
he One-Hour Digital Reset
A Calm Way to Tidy the Parts of Life That Quietly Drain You
Nothing here is an emergency.
That’s the problem.
Passwords written in three different places.
Apps you never open but keep meaning to sort.
An inbox so full you’ve stopped seeing individual messages.
Individually, none of it matters.
Together, it creates a low, constant sense of mess.
The feeling that things are slightly out of hand — even when the rest of life isn’t.
This guide exists for that feeling.
What This Is
The One-Hour Digital Reset is a short, practical checklist designed to bring order to the everyday digital clutter most people quietly live with.
No new apps to learn.
No systems to maintain.
No aspiration to “optimize” anything.
Just one focused hour, broken into four manageable blocks.
When the hour ends, the job is done.
How It Works
You set aside sixty minutes.
Make a cup of tea.
And work through four fifteen-minute blocks:
- gathering passwords and putting them in one safe place
- finding subscriptions you no longer need and cancelling them
- clearing unused apps and simplifying what remains
- reducing email to something you can look at without sighing
Each step is simple.
Each one creates visible relief.
There’s a single printable page you tick off as you go — nothing more.
What Changes
This doesn’t turn you into a different person.
It removes friction.
The mild guilt when you open your phone.
The hesitation before checking email.
The background sense that something needs sorting.
Most people finish the hour surprised by how much lighter things feel.
Who This Is For
This is for people whose digital life has quietly accumulated over the years.
For those who know they should tidy it — but never want to turn it into a project.
And for anyone who wants practical order, not another system to manage.
What This Is Not
This isn’t productivity advice.
It won’t chase inbox zero.
And it won’t ask you to keep maintaining something complicated.
You do it once.
Then spend ten minutes a month keeping it that way.
The Quiet Result
That low-grade mental noise you’ve learned to live with?
It doesn’t disappear through motivation.
It disappears through finishing the job.
This gives you a way to do that — calmly, in one hour.
Your passwords are scattered across three notebooks and your browser's memory. Your phone has four screens of apps you haven't opened in years. Your inbox has 3,247 unread emails, and you've stopped looking. None of it is urgent. All of it drains you. This checklist fixes it. One hour. Four fifteen-minute blocks. Done.
